Title: Re: Which Beach Boy Era Are You Currently Into The Most Now-a-Days? :) Post by: drbeachboy on January 18, 2012, 05:02:38 PM I love all of the era's, but I mostly prefer the early Brother/Reprise era; Sunflower through In Concert.

For the past couple days I've been really digging Carl & The Passions 'So Tough', Holland and In Concert era. Title: Re: Which Beach Boy Era Are You Currently Into The Most Now-a-Days? :) Post by: rab2591 on January 18, 2012, 05:53:44 PM What I've been listening to hasn't been a specific era, rather: I got Friends on vinyl a few weeks ago and have listened to that a few times, also, I listened to Surfer Girl a week ago. Love the mellow feel of those records.
My favorite era is the Surfer Girl through Summer Days era. Just such a positive vibe flowing through those records. Title: Re: Which Beach Boy Era Are You Currently Into The Most Now-a-Days? :) Post by: MyGlove on January 18, 2012, 06:37:03 PM from Surfer Girl to Love You.

Title: Re: Which Beach Boy Era Are You Currently Into The Most Now-a-Days? :) Post by: donald on January 19, 2012, 07:38:51 AM Live material from approx 1973 through the 93 Anniv soundboard and beyond. Nearly everyone ever in the band is heard here, and the material covered is career spanning. This stuff is largely energetic and authentic, just the band and the touring musicians.

Title: Re: Which Beach Boy Era Are You Currently Into The Most Now-a-Days? :) Post by: rogerlancelot on January 19, 2012, 08:01:37 AM I think everything from First Love (1978) to Country Love (1978) is especially jaw-dropping and can easily be compared to a mountain of fresh steaming hot excrement (fecal matter). Lately I've been doing A/B comparisons of "Problem Child" alternate mixes (instrumental version, single version and radio edit). Some days I compare the 3 versions of "Rock'n'Roll To The Rescue" (beach party mix, percadella mix and instrumental mix) but then other days I choose to go for more adventurous stuff like Salute NASCAR or Disco Celebration or Mike & Dean.

When is the "salute NASCAR" sessions box set coming out?Oddly, the only mention of Salute Nascar on Wikipedia is this: Love has attempted several times to have a career outside the Beach Boys. In the mid 1970s, he recorded and released two albums with side band Celebration, including the top 30 hit single "Almost Summer" (co-written with Brian Wilson and Jardine), along with further songwriting contributions to the band's third (unreleased) album "Disco Celebration". In the late 1970s, he also recorded two unreleased solo albums, First Love and Country Love. Some tracks from First Love were used on later Beach Boys releases. In 1981, he released a solo album, Looking Back With Love. Consisting mostly of cover versions, the album was neither critically nor commercially successful. He confined himself to guest spots on recordings alongside artists such as Dean Torrence of Jan And Dean and The Association, contributing to the albums "Rock'n'Roll City", "Rock 'n Roll Again," "Winter Party On The Beach (aka "Scrooge's Rock'n'Roll Christmas")" and "New Memories". He also developed a penchant for re-recording old Beach Boys' hits, released on packages like "Catch a Wave" and "Salute Nascar" with Adrian Baker. He has also lent his vocal abilities to a 2003 Bruce Springsteen tribute CD (singing "Hungry Heart"), and a Bruce Johnston–produced album for the Kings Singers, amongst others. Also, in 2003, he announced plans for a new solo album. This album, which has been announced under the working titles Unleash The Love and Mike Love, Not War (not to be confused with the Beach Boys bootleg of the same name), is still a work in progress (although bootleg recordings have appeared) and, to date, one new track from these sessions, "Cool Head, Warm Heart", has appeared on an official Beach Boys–related collection. Further research shows that it was released in February, 1998 on MELECo/Tosco label and was only available at Union 76 truck stops. I found the cd and there are no liner notes to indicate when the material was recorded or if any outtakes did in fact still exist. There are two things that struck me as odd: Mike Love is holding a guitar and Bruce looks like he is tightly clenching his buttocks. Also it says "Special Collector's Edition" which means I need to seek out more copies since these are highly collectible. I found this review to be quite revealing: This album, probably the last original album from the Beach Boys this century, came at an inopportune time. Released in February of 1998 only at 76 Gas Stations (!), it coincided with the death of Carl Wilson on the 6th of the same month. Many thought of this month as the official death of the group known as "The Beach Boys", not only because of Carl's death, but because of this release as well. The album credits "Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and David Marks of The Beach Boys" as the artist, instead of simply "The Beach Boys". However, later in the year, Mike Love gained the rights to use the official "Beach Boys" moniker for this same trio. The results are kind of embarassing, and it would be sad if this were the last Beach Boys album to be put out; a sad way to end the Beach Boys legacy. The results are listenable, but this album is completely composed of car song remakes which are totally inferior to the originals in that they lack their heart and youthful vigor. Obviously, this was not intended to be a serious project, as it wasn't even promoted, and sold for a "bargain price" of $5.99. But there are a few sparks of creativity. Mike decided to change "Little Honda" up a little bit, to sound more like the recent live rendition they had been performing. "Ballad of Ole Betsy" features Mike Love taking the lead, in a much more intelligible form, giving it a sound harkening back to the last few ballads on "Looking Back With Love", Mike's 1981 solo album. Adrian Baker takes the uncredited lead on "Don't Worry Baby", which sounds great except for the sloppy drum machine intro. All in all, a lightweight effort that probably should have been considered a Mike Love solo album, as Bruce and David are nowhere to be heard. I found copies selling for $75.50 (http://www.amazon.com/Bruce-Johnston-David-Salute-Nascar/dp/B000BUVKG2 (http://www.amazon.com/Bruce-Johnston-David-Salute-Nascar/dp/B000BUVKG2)) along with more helpful reviews but still not sure if there is enough material out there to justify a 5 disc box set of sessions. Anybody know more about this legendary album and was it really an undercover tribute to Carl and Audrey?

Title: Re: Which Beach Boy Era Are You Currently Into The Most Now-a-Days? :) Post by: rogerlancelot on January 19, 2012, 10:01:25 AM More about Tosco (the label name):
Tosco (The Oil Shale COrporation) was an independent US based petroleum refining and marketing corporation. It was founded in 1955 in Santa Monica, California by A&P heir Huntington Hartford, and originally focused on extracting oil from oil shale and developing alternative energy sources. In 1996, Tosco acquired the Circle K chain of convenience stores. In 1997, Tosco bought the rights to the Union 76 brand of gas stations and the western United States refining and marketing operations from Unocal. Tosco merged with Phillips Petroleum in 2001. Phillips merged with Conoco in 2002 to become ConocoPhillips, who spun off the Circle K stores to Canadian-based Alimentation Couche-Tard. While this information is very interesting, it still does not give us exact dates and other session details. Maybe Craig can help us out on this one. So far we don't even know where it was recorded or why it is credited to Bruce & Dave even though they don't make a single appearance on the final mix. Here is an article (http://articles.latimes.com/1997-03-11/business/fi-36935_1_tosco-corp (http://articles.latimes.com/1997-03-11/business/fi-36935_1_tosco-corp)) from the LA Times dating March, 1997 telling how Tosco Products was going to lay off as many as 550 people. I am assuming that none of these employees had anything to do with the production or making of this album. I'm guessing the bulk of sessions happened in late 1997 when Carl was too sick to work and Mike needed more money. I didn't find any useful information about the project here (http://manvsclown.wordpress.com/2006/07/21/why-i-hate-mike-love/ (http://manvsclown.wordpress.com/2006/07/21/why-i-hate-mike-love/)) but I was mildly entertained. I went over to Mike Love Fan Club's message board (http://pub9.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=760910562&frmid=44&msgid=0 (http://pub9.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=760910562&frmid=44&msgid=0)) to see if I could find out anything there but sadly nothing about these sessions had been covered by his fans. There was however a warning about Mike Love's anus (http://pub9.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=760910562&frmid=44&msgid=762296&cmd=show (http://pub9.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=760910562&frmid=44&msgid=762296&cmd=show)) that was very interesting but still not very helpful with my search. The page on Smiley Smile (http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?topic=103.0 (http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?topic=103.0)) has a message from The Real Beach Boy which says: "The scary thing about this album is that there was a VERY rare album of material put together from these sessions called "Catch A Wave". The Mike/Adrian Baker sessions are dire to say the very least, I only like one of the tunes." That means there were several sessions to account for. Maybe we could at least squeeze out a deluxe 2 cd edition with a comprehensive companion book featuring photos from the sessions and extensive liner notes? One can only hope..... Title: Re: Which Beach Boy Era Are You Currently Into The Most Now-a-Days? :) Post by: SMiLE Brian on January 19, 2012, 10:07:45 AM I need to find more info on country love and first love as well.

In 2007, Mike Love sued Brian Wilson (and lost) for doing what he himself had done three times before - re-recording old Beach Boys hits and releasing them as promotion items in the United States and Canada. These recordings, which were pretty much Adrian Baker's baby with Mike Love and Bruce Johnston providing lead and some backing vocals, were almost note-for-note recreations of the original Beach Boys hits, and were slick, professional work. The most well-known of these tracks appeared on the NASCAR CD, but this CD appeared first. It's unknown whether this album ever achieved legitimate release to the public, but it was available for a short time through Adrian Baker's website. There's not much else I can say about these recordings - they're colder, more synthesized than the originals, but the tempos, arrangments, and vocals are all spot on - Mike Love's voice is of course more nasal than the original recordings with The Beach Boys, but these are fine reproductions - it's like hearing one of the many rip-off Beach Boys products out there, but with an eerily familiar-sounding lead vocalist in place of the usual anonymous schlep artist. I'm not certain whether this surfeit of songs was recorded with the intention of selling them to the highest corporate bidder, but that's what happened, and hey, that's what makes America great, isn't it? (Well, that - and being able to sue your family over it.) Very interesting..... Title: Re: Which Beach Boy Era Are You Currently Into The Most Now-a-Days? :) Post by: SMiLE Brian on January 19, 2012, 10:27:51 AM Adrian Baker is a musical genius, Mike really should write with him instead of Brian.

I wonder why he didn't stick around, it seems like he was a really great asset for the group. They really downgraded their image after he left. Hey Rocky - it's a long story but he convinced the band to move Holland (because he wanted to live there) - when the band decided it wasn't their thing, he decided to stay and manage them from Holland - the band quickly told him to go stick his finger in the dyke.

Title: Re: Which Beach Boy Era Are You Currently Into The Most Now-a-Days? :) Post by: NHC on January 20, 2012, 05:00:36 PM Half a century later, when I simply have to listen to the Beach Boys, it's still the first 10 albums. Cars, surf, faling in love, etc. The greatest. After that, it's selective or mood oriented. As in "haven't listened to 20/20 for a while" (which happens to have one of my favorite two or three songs on it - I Can Hear Music).

Title: Re: Which Beach Boy Era Are You Currently Into The Most Now-a-Days? :) Post by: phirnis on January 21, 2012, 08:32:57 AM Really into the 1973 In Concert LP right now. You can tell they were about to have a huge comeback.
The warmth of the overall sound is unique and beautiful, especially on "Surfer Girl". Love how you can hear the bass very clearly throughout the album. Title: Re: Which Beach Boy Era Are You Currently Into The Most Now-a-Days? :) Post by: myonlysunshine on January 21, 2012, 08:52:27 AM Currently I'm into the era of the of Brian's greatest creativity, the 1964-67 era (Today!-Smile Sessions). I love all of the 60's and early 70's material, but I just sort of have to be in the mood to listen to the early surf stuff and the later albums that feature far less Brian contributions. I also like listening to all the live albums, especially Live in London for some reason.

Try this one instead: extend "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic" (Caribou '74 sessions) artificially by looping certain sections until it can fill an 80 minute cd (make sure there is at least 30 minutes of the banjo riff repeating alone) and then try to listen to it on repeat while rolling on ecstasy (MDMA) and laying on the floor in a dark basement. This could age or warp even the toughest of character.
